Anyone Else Ever Had A Flare Up For More Than A Month? This Just Feels Like My New Life Now😭

Yes, my primary dr sent me to an arthritis specialist. They thought I had fibromyalgia since it’s a common inflammatory disease and I had symptoms over the course of a few months with extremely low energy and high pain. Even in my hands, joints etc.
However I believe it to be just endo. My naturopath has been phenomenal at getting multiple blood tests done and looking at my inflammation markers. My inflammation was 3x as high as a normal persons and it was actually due to insulin production in my body. Since then it has gone down, but diet contributes a lot. I also had no energy due to extremely low iron and ferritin in my blood. I’m now on iron supplements. Idk if this helps anyone but bloodwork can reveal a lot.

By time I had my 1st hysterectomy, I was in pain 25/30 days a month. Having my sons, made the endometriosis grow more and faster. But it was doing the same extending days even as a teenager. I missed an entire life. Had to quit high school in 10th grade becUse of it, I was failing, and no one wants to help me, they just threw homework at me, expected me to know what I was doing, and no one trying to understand why i.missed so much school, I missed 70%+ each year since 3rd grade. You have to figure out for you, why this is happening, and what to do about it. .once again..this low abdomen, endometriosis MRI, would solve the mystery, before exploratory surgery. But uuuhg. Greedy, selfish, hands running the ins. Companies. And everything else. For now!

It used to be a continuous struggle for me, too. Mostly cyclical, but every day tended to be a challenge. Finding a good specialist made a big difference, and I feel much better since the surgery removed the adhesions. Hope you have a good doctor and can find relief soon, sorry to hear you're in so much pain.

Unfortunately, yes. I probably have 2 okay days a week and okay is a stretch. The past couple months have been constant flare ups and pain. I hope you get relief soon.
